An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland. Written by

Max Rockatansky:
[Narrating]
My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.

Well, no. I really don't get all the excitement regarding this movie. It begins rather pretentious with the inner turmoils of max, but that's the deep part. What follows is a few great ideas wasted in a bad script. I like great action. I like steam punk/metal rigged/vehicle based stuff, the mad max premise, the society after the destroyed world, the weirdo things like the guitar rig...but not in this concoction.
Make a choice, then go for that. The action is great, but the rest falls flat, like the characters. Max isn't the lead character and feels like a stupid ox. The development of his character isn't there to support his actions later on. Furiosa is the main character and has some spirit. The evil guy is just that. And the boy is to recognizable as that guy that plays it, what's his name...
The action in this movie is great, the chase intense, but that all stops when they get to the mothers...oh my, from then on the scriptwriters must have thought 'well, let's put some emotion in here'. And that is the failure, I think. They wanted action, story and emotional development/attachment. The last failed miserably, the story is hidden somewhere beneath rubble and the action doesn't hold because of the first fail. Sadly.
So, great ideas, nice pictures, but bad execution.
